Markus F. Peschl

Markus F. Peschl (born 1965) is an Austrian philosopher of mind, philosopher of science and cognitive scientist, and professor for Cognitive Science and Philosophy of Science at the University of Vienna, Austria. He is known for his early work on cognitive modelling,[1] and his more recent work concerning a"socio-epistemological approach to innovation."[2][3]

Life and work

Peschl obtained his MA in Cognitive Science, Computer Science & Psychology at the Vienna University of Technology in 1983, and in 1989 his PhD in computer science, cognitive science, psychology and philosophy at the University of Vienna.[4]

Peschl started his academic career at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD, cognitive science, neuroscience, and philosophy department), at the University of Sussex and in France for post-doctoral research. Peschl is professor for Cognitive Science and Philosophy of Science at the University of Vienna, Austria.

His focus of research is on the highly interdisciplinary question of knowledge (creation/innovation, construction) in various contexts: in natural and artificial cognitive systems, in science, in organizations, in educational settings, and in the context of knowledge technologies and their embedding in social systems. He is working in the field of radical innovation, where he developed the concepts of "emergent innovation" and "enabling spaces."[5]
